The common element in graphite, fullerene, diamond and graphene is:
general-sciencechemistry
- AOxygen
- BNitrogen
- CHydrogen
- DCarbon
Explanation
Graphite, diamond, fullerene and graphene are allotropes, different structural forms, of the element carbon: graphite and graphene are sp2-bonded sheets, diamond is a tetrahedral network, and fullerenes are closed cages. None of them has oxygen, nitrogen or hydrogen as its common element. Hence carbon is the common element.
